Norwich City are hoping to extend their long unbeaten record over arch rivals Ipswich Town this afternoon in one of the most highly anticipated East Anglian derby matches in recent history.

The Canaries have enjoyed a significant period of dominance over the Tractor Boys and avoiding defeat this lunchtime would see them take that run to over 15 years.

With Norwich continuing their fight to finalise a top six finish and Ipswich daring to dream of promotion - the stakes could not be higher ahead of this afternoon's clash. 

City were beaten 3-1 at Leicester on Easter Monday but have enjoyed their strongest run of home form in the top two tiers since November 2003 after winning their last seven matches at Carrow Road. 

Ipswich have won nine of their last 10 Championship matches and are hoping to record victory in Norfolk for the first time in 18 years, ending over 14 years of derby heartache and adding more points to their promotion push. 

David Wagner has almost a fully fit squad to select from - although will be without Portman Road headline grabber Jon Rowe who is in the final weeks of his recovery from a hamstring issue that has kept him sidelined since a 2-2 draw with QPR in February. 

Jacob Sorensen is the only new absentee, limping out of Monday's defeat at the King Power Stadium early on with a hamstring issue. That is expected to rule him out for between 10 to 14 days. Shane Duffy is in line to replace him in City's backline. 

Onel Hernandez and Dimi Giannoulis remain sidelined, with the Greek left back revealing in the week that he is poised to return before the end of the normal campaign. 

Ipswich striker Kieffer Moore is a major doubt for this encounter owing to a back injury sustained in the 3-2 victory over Southampton on Monday, whilst the game comes too soon for George Hirst. Kieran McKenna also revealed there is illness in their camp ahead of this fixture. Wes Burns is also missing. 

McKenna's side head into the clash hoping to maintain their position at the top of the Championship table - no side has taken more points from losing positions this season.
